“…After careful and thorough reading, 4 articles have been again excluded for the following reasons Full text article not available (1), Not from South India (1), Study on Families of BC patients (1), and educational intervention on screening (1). Finally 16 articles have been selected for the qualitative synthesis (Gajalakshmi and Shanta, 1991;Nandakumar et al, 1998;Yeole and Kurkure, 2003;Kuraparthy et al, 2007;Ali et al, 2008;Mathew et al, 2008;Syamala et al, 2008a;2008b;Dey et al, 2009;Jayalekshmi et al, 2009;Syamala et al, 2009;Vaidyanathan et al, 2009;Harrison et al, 2010;Surekha et al, 2010;Chauhan et al, 2011) Methodological qualities of included studies: Out of 16 included studies 10 were Case studies, 1 Nested case control study (on a cohort of women), 4 studies were based on Secondary data analysis and 1 (Marmot et al, 2007) was cross-sectional study. Confounding factors were reported and adjusted in 2 out of 10 case control studies, mentioned and not controlled in 3 studies and not mentioned in rest of the studies.…”

Background: Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in women globally and represents the second leading cause of cancer death among women (after lung cancer). India is going through epidemiologic transition. It is reported that the incidence of breast cancer is rising rapidly as a result of changes in reproductive risk factors, dietary habits and increasing life expectancy, acting in concert with genetic factors. Materials and Methods: In order to understand the existing epidemiological correlates of breast cancer in South India, a systematic review of evidence available on epidemiologic correlates of breast cancer addressing incidence, prevalence, and associated factors like age, reproductive factors, cultural and religious factors was performed with specific focus on screening procedures in southern India. Results: An increase in breast cancer incidence due to various modifiable risk factors was noted, especially in women over 40 years of age, with late stage of presentation, lack of awareness about screening, costs, fear and stigma associated with the disease serving as major barriers for early presentation. Conclusions: Educational strategies should be aimed at modifying the life style, early planning of pregnancy, promoting breast feeding and physical activity. It is very important to obtain reliable data for planning policies, decision-making and setting up the priorities.

“…Previous Indian studies have documented that rates of ER negativity is high among breast cancers in Indian women [2][3][4]. It has been suggested that factors contributing to this high ER negativity could be technical failures of detection of ER, younger age of patients, and advanced stage at presentation -all of which can increase the proportion of ER negative tumours [2].…”

“…lacking ER, progesterone receptor (PR) as well as HER-2 receptors [1]. Previous data from India show higher proportion of ER negative breast cancer compared to the west [2][3][4]. This higher burden of ER negative disease has been attributed to several factors, including technical failures at detection of ER positivity, younger age of patients, and advanced stage at presentation -all of which can increase the proportion of ER negative tumours [2].…”

Estrogen Receptor Negative Breast Cancer in India: Do We Really Have Higher Burden of this Subtype?

ER negative and Triple negative breast cancers carry a poorer prognosis and are not amenable to hormone therapy. It has been previously observed that Indian patients with breast cancer have a higher tendency to have these tumours. Whether this is due to inherent biological differences in the tumours of our patients is a matter of much debate. We have analysed 250 patients of breast cancer for hormone receptor status, compared them with western series, and attempted to support the hypothesis that the higher ER negativity and triple negativity is indeed due to different tumour biology.

“…Accordingly the biological behaviour and treatment factors affecting outcome are less commonly reported than breast malignancies of epithelial origin 3 . Furthermore there are a great number of varying histopathological subtypes that can affect the breast 4 , the commonest histopathological subtypes being malignant phyllodes tumour 5,6 and angiosarcoma 7 .…”
